A/N: I've had nothing but compliments and suggestions in the reviews, I never knew I would do so well and on a more depressing note, I'm publishing this chapter in respect of one of my classmates who has unfortunately passed away, early Tuesday. I've had a bit of a block in this chapter.
Starting In The Deep End Part II
Previously:
Humphrey and Lilly have left the hospital and moved into a new mansion which was owned by Carl Stevenson. Shakey and Princess tagged along too. When they first opened the doors to the mansion, they were met by an angry butler named David. Later during the evening, Kate and Garth were on their way home from gift shopping. When they got to Garth's house, they were met by wolves jumping out the window with rifles. They later blew up his home. Garth then asked Humphrey if he could find a place tto stay for now. Humphrey agreed and allowed him to come to the mansion.
Humphrey's P.O.V.
I can't say that I wasn't happy that two more of my friends were moving in with is but six wolves living under one roof might get outta hand. When I explained this to Lilly, she just gave me 'The Look' which scared the hell out of me.
While Princess and I were moving some furniture, which Lilly disapproved of so she watched is while we were moving, we heard the doorbell ring. David walked to the door with a shotgun in his hand.
"Good evening sir we were just... MY GOD, HE'S GOT A SHOTGUN!" I heard a Garth panic at the sight of a butler with a shotgun.
"David! These are new guests, they need a place to stay too after their house blew up." I explained to David who didn't seem to care.
"It's not something new that someone's house gets blown up everyday now." David said sarcastically.
I tried calming the now petrified Garth and Kate just giggled at him. "Hey Garth, you're gonna be okay. You see, here in Williams Manor, Alfred doesn't get along with new comers so try to be nice with him." I said to Garth, still calling David, Alfred.
"My name is David, you mongrel!" David retorted with a 'menacing' tone. Garth didn't even smile, he had only one expression right now: Scared-shitless.
"He... why, butler... shotgun... Dave... why... Alfred." Garth said random shit between breaths.
"Alright, anyway let me walk you to your rooms." I offered to Kate and Garth.
"Hey Lilly, your boyfriend is quite the gentleman." Kate winked at me, making me blush... slightly.
"Oh no sister, don't you be getting any ideas on my Humphrey." Lilly said reacting to me blushing at what Kate said.
"Relax, I'm happy with Garth and besides, I bet that in some other parallel universe, Humphrey and I would be together and you would be with Garth." Kate said, making everything awkward now. We just stood there in silence for about 2 minutes.
"If you wolves are done breaking the fourth wall, you need to get to bed now." David said, saving us from the awkwardness.
"So you're our parent now?" I asked David with a confused face.
"God no, but I'm sure you wolves are going back to school tomorrow, no matter how hectic your weekend was." Dave said while taking Kate and Garth's bags. I noticed a sweet scent in the room.
"So... I'm gonna take a shower and I'll meet you in bed." Lilly said as she walked out of the main hall. She looked really good while swaying her tail side to side.
"Ahem, Humphrey. Mind helping me move the table?" Princess asked snapping me back to reality.
I nodded and tried lifting the table. "Damn this is heavy." I complained trying to lift the table with all my might. She wasn't really doing anything.
"Or maybe I could help, it would probably work." Princess said, bending down and exposing her cleavage. I forcefully resisted the urge to look.
"Aw come on Humphrey, you know you want them." Princess persisted and bounced her melons.
"No Christie, you've got Shakey and I've got Lilly." I refused and picked up the table quite fine on my own.
"Well it looks like you are truly faithful to your Snow Angel. I was just testing you after Kate tried claiming you." Princess casually waved this off.
"Hmph, the ultimate test of love is love itself." I said carrying the table to the corner. I then started wondering what the sweet scent in the room was.
"In that case, the challenge was already beat." Princess agreed.
"Whew I'm done for the night so I'm going to bed. Goodnight." I said to Princess after setting the table down.
"Goodnight Humphrey, show Lilly a good time in bed." Princess winked at me. I just groaned in frustration.
When I got to my room, I opened the door without knocking and saw Lilly's full body. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I apologised, covering my eyes but I saw everything in my mind still. Every perfect detail of her body.
"Relax Humphrey, I already said you to see my goods but no touching remember?" Lilly stated, reminding me of the day she undressed next to me.
"I respect you too much to look." I said as I turned around, away from the beautiful sight. Lilly yanked my tail, forcing me to turn around. She kissed me unexpectedly.
"Why am I always the one to give you kisses?" Lilly said after kissing me. I felt guilty for this.
"Please dress up first before we can go to bed." I said, avoiding the issue. Lilly sighed and went through the wardrobe. I began to wonder why all the girls were acting weird tonight.
"You're no fun." As Lilly said this, I again noticed an interesting sweer scent in the room. I immediately came to a conclusion of what's been going on with the girls.
"Lilly, are you in heat?" I asked straightforwardly. She blushed and looked away shyly. She looked somehow guilty.
"I'm sorry Humphrey, you must think I'm a slut for behaving the way I just did. I'm so disgusting." Lilly said while putting on her night wear.
"Lilly, just about every female wolf goes through this cycle. It's just that time of season mixed with just the right age." I tried comforting Lilly and brought her into a hug.
"You're too nice a wolf to love me. I don't deserve to be with you. You probably deserve someone better." Lilly was now doubting herself and I was not gonna let this happen.
"There's no wolf I'd rather be with than you." I said as I kissed her forehead, making her blush intensively.
"Y-you love me th-that much?" Lilly stuttered while trying to process what just happened.
"I love you more than you think." I said to Lilly which really made her feel better. She sat really uncomfortably though probably because of the feeling in her nether region.
"Stay strong because I'm not really ready for this." I said making her ears drop, but they lifted up again.
"Well I'm not ready either so I guess I can hold out for another 3 years." Lilly confessed as well. We got in bed and said our goodnights. I still can't believe how beautiful Lilly looks while she's sleeping.
The next day:
I once again woke up to the smell of lavender perfume and soft fur on my chest. "Good morning Lilly." I greeted her as always. "Good morning Humphrey." She greeted back.
"So what should we do today?" I asked Lilly, titling her head to the side in confusion. "It's Monday, we're going back to school." She responded.
"Ahhhhh." I groaned out loud. "I know how you feel, after all we've been through and we still have to worry about a shit-load of books? We still have a criminal psychopath to deal with." Lilly stated with a sigh.
I went down to be the first one to the shower. I didn't waste time in there because my friends still have to take a morning shower.
"Breakfast is ready Master Humphrey." David announced out of nowhere. Why does it always have to be at the most unexpected time?
I continued walking back to my room and yes, it was that far. This mansion is huge. Anyway, I opened the door and saw Lilly playing games on a PS4.
"Uh... where did you find a console?" I asked her, pointing at the PS4 console. I remember that pretty much everything I had was burned in the explosion.
"Heh, funny thing actually, this Carl guy had an Xbox One and PS4 console hidden under this bed. I think this was his master bedroom." Lilly explained.
"No kidding, this room is big, you could almost anything in here." I said as I looked around the room.
"I guess it's time for me to go shower now, I want Room 1 to be the first couple to finish showering." Lilly said, making this sound like a competition.
"I'm gonna go down to eat breakfast, David prepared this." I stated, putting on my Omega signed shirt.
"I doubt it's better than your dishing." Lilly scoffed. I was also curious as to how David prepares meals. Lilly walked out the room and headed to the showers.
When I finished dressing up for the day, I walked disk shelves of Carl Stevenson. He had a lot of games but he still didn't have enough games.
I walked down to the dining hall and saw that David was setting up the table. "Good morning Alfred." I greeted him jokingly.
"Good morning Coyote." He greeted back sarcastically, I deserved that.
Lilly later joined me at the table. I took a bite at the breakfast apple pie and smirked. Lilly tilted her head to the side and took her bite. That's when she understood why I was smirking.
"Humphrey is a better cook than you David." Lilly blurted out making David raise an eyebrow.
"This wolf bests my cooking skills? I don't think so." David The Butler said as he looked at me with disbelief. I don't blame him. Later, the rest of the wolves arrived in the dining hall. It was a boring breakfast morning.
After Breakfast: (that's how boring it was)
Lilly and I walked into the garage and I let her drive this time. The SLS was new to Lilly. I kind of owed her this because her car blew up with my house.
When we got to school with Shakey, Princess, Kate and Garth following of course, we went to the parking and exited the car.
We got to school later than usual because we lived further away now. The bell then rang just as we entered the room. As we were taking our books from our lockers, the P.A went on.
"Humphrey Williams, Lilly Snow, Kate Quinn, Garth Richards, Princess C. Madison and Samuel Ackerman , please report to the principal's office immediately." Called the lady on the intercom.
"At least she wasn't as loud as the first time." Shakey said, making Christie laugh, obviously taking it the wrong and perverted way.
"On a serious note, we actually might be in trouble." Lilly said, sounding worried about this. I shrugged it off and we continued walking to the office.
It wasn't a long walk but once we walked up to the office, we saw Winston and Principal Clinton in the room.
"Morning, students." Clinton said, making us feel unnerved. It like I was gonna get expelled for something.
"Your coach, Winston and I have been talking about your sport. As of today, you will not have to attend school." Clinton said. That sounded like total bullshit coming from a principal. I couldn't even respond to that.
"I know what you're thinking, 'I've got two years left of High School and now I just drop out for nothing.' But the reason I'm saying this is because you might need to take rowing a bit more seriously. You are all already excelling in your classes." He added on. I was still shocked at all of this.
"So what if we are doing well? The next two years will probably have more complex and detailed work." Garth spoke out.
"The next to years will actually be revision because you've already finished the curriculum that other schools haven't started with yet. You are all passing with distinctions. 80%'s and 90%'s as your average for all your subjects which basically makes you all nerds, in a good way but as for you Kate, you might actually need a private tutor for Physics." Clinton concluded as he looked at Kate in the last part. I'm not getting over the fact that we were called nerds.
"Your training begins now." Winston said. After he said this, twenty other wolves walked through the door. Salty and Mooch were there as well.
"Mr. Clinton, this is our rowing crew it's not much but we have potential." Winston said to the principal.
"Alright, we must get you all ready for water practice." Clinton said. I got really excited but Lilly didn't look as excited as I was.
"Follow me rowers." Winston said as he lead us out the door.
We followed him all the way to the front gate where a Jasper High sports transport bus was parked and waiting for us. The fact that we just got dismissed from school during the day just feels wrong.
"Alright, get in the bus. I'll explain some things along the way to Woodland Dam." Winston said as he got into the bus.
I sat in the second row of seats on the right side of the bus, Lilly sat next to me. Garth and Kate sat on the opposite side of the bus. Shakey and Christina sat behind us.
"Well first off, introductions. I will be coaching the boys, you can call me Coach Craig Lawrence but only my best rowers may call me Claw." Said the dark brown wolf sitting next to the door.
"I am Serena Carson but unlike my partner, you may call me Scar if you like. I will be coaching the girl's side." Said the female amber furred wolf. She reminded me of Kate in a lot of ways.
"Scar and Claw? Those aren't scary names at all." I said sarcastically to Lilly. Serena definitely heard me.
"You there, next to the white one. What's your name? You look like a decent wolf." Serena demanded while pointing at me.
"I'm Humphrey Williams ma'am." I answered. She looked at me for awhile then spoke.
"Hm... you're not half bad, you've got the looks and the body. No wonder you've got a pretty girl sitting next to you." Serena said, almost flirting with me. Lilly blushed but still looked sort of threatened by Scar.
"Oooohhhhh!" The whole bus cheered when Serena said that. I just sank into my seat in embarrassment. We were on a bus but it still felt like a normal classroom again. One wolf then stood up.
"I'm next, I'm Kevin Edwards and I'm the captain of the boys. You can also call me King." The wolf said then sat down again. That was awfully short and sweet. The next wolf stood up.
"I am Steffany, I'm also the captain of the girls and you may call me Sweets 'cause that's what my sister Candice calls me." She said then sat down. I had a feeling that this would be a long ride of wolves introducing each other.
"Hey I'm Garth Richards, I had the fastest time for the 1k sprint until Humphrey beat it." Garth said making us all snicker. Claw raised an eyebrow.
"So you're the new rower that's been the topic of gossip these two weeks?" Craig stood up and said this as he looked at me.
"Uh... maybe?" That was the most intelligent answer I could give right now. Craig laughed when I said this.
"You're a hotshot, you've earned the right to call me Claw." He said then sat down. Seems that I got a rep even though I only started like last week. Salty then stood up.
"I am Sylvester Altman, you all know me so you can just call me Salty." He said then sat back down.
I couldn't really remember what happened after that in detail because I was a bit tired but I remember the rest of the wolves names that introduced themselves after that. I remember someone called Candice or 'Candy' who was the sister of Sweets, Candu, Marvin Orchard or 'The Mooch', Reba and Janice who were sisters too I think, Link and Lyle who were also brothers.
The rest other ten wolves weren't even doing rowing so I didn't even listen for their names but I heard one name: Daria. I then just closed my eyes and slept in the bus.
A/N: I'm really sorry about the delay, the classes weren't really the same without my classmate. This chapter was shorter than I wanted it to be and I still had a shortage of ideas.
Until Next Time Readers
